A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed.

 

Once again, the wife is touched  to tears. 'Yes, I do' she replies.




The husband pauses The words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car'


'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into the chair beside him.




The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to prison for 20 years'


'I remember that, too' she replied softly.




He wiped another tear from his cheek and said "I would have gotten out today."
